This would be awesome for work. I appreciate them giving me a wee little laptop for transportability but when I actually have to work off-site, it's a royal pain in the ass to compare documents and bounce between different documents and applications.

don't you have dual monitors at home?

oh, no. I have an old lcd monitor that only goes up to 1024. even if i could, they'd probably all just display the same thing anyway.

While I admit it is no where near a 24" dual monitor setup. It is also not practical to lug around 2 external monitors plus a laptop. In fact, it is not really very convenient to carry an external monitor around when you change offices every few days.

I really don't know of a better solution for dual monitors on the go. If you do have one I would really like to hear it as I am desperately in the market for a portable dual monitor setup as well as a new laptop with the consulting work I just started doing. I already have the dual 24" + desktop at home for any work I do from home. Right now I carry a 21" monitor + 13" laptop whenever I work out of the clients office.

I gave up waiting for this shit and just ended up buying a Lenovo thinkpad with a docking station that could output to 3 external monitors. I am going to pick up one of these for a "dual laptop monitor" instead:
